I'm looking at a set of what are supposed to be OEM Stingray wheels on Facebook marketplace. But the seller says there is no stamping to indicate the size. Should the size be stamped on them if they are truly OEM? And what sizes did this design come in? Were they 18/19x10 or 19/20x10? I'm looking at them for my C6 base.
All the OEM wheels I've seen have the GM part number cast into them, usually on the backside of one of the spokes. I'd want detailed pics.
Size depends on if they came from a base Stingray or one equipped with the Z51 suspension
Okay, thanks. That confirms what I was thinking. There is definitely no stamp on the spokes. I'll see about getting more pics or I may just have to make the drive to see them.

If those are OEM wheels and not reproduction ones, they should be 19x8.5 and 20x10. That wheel design is off a Z51 car. I would think that somewhere on the back side of the spokes the size would be on the wheel. If they turn out to be reproduction wheels, I would still think the wheel size would be imprinted on the back side off the spokes.

Take a jack and tools for a test fit, if you go to the seller.
Be sure there is clearance for the calipers.
When I swapped my OEM C7 wheels for C6 gumbys, they needed a .100 spacer. I assume going to C7 wheels on a C6, you'll have extra clearance, but check anyway.
FYI, just checked my 2016 Z51 OEM wheels. They do NOT have stamps on the back of the spokes -- front or back. They are on the car so i can't inspect fully for a stamp elsewhere, but, there is NO stamp on front or back wheels on the back side of spokes.
HOWEVER the Z51 wheels came with the corvette LOGO as a center cap -- not the word "stingray" -- Someone could have swapped that.
If they were cleaner with better pictures -- i could compare the corvette stamp on the front to mine...
I was curious so I did a little digging to see if I could find where GM marked the wheels. While not on the inside of one of the spokes, they did mark them inside the barrel. Should anyone decide to pursue the advertised wheels or a different set, here's what to look for (and yes, if you look close you see "China" in the last pic as well as the size)...

Thanks for those pics. That's what I was originally trying to figure out.
